“This was my very first time leaving my dog Tammy. Ninoska was very nice to meet and great before the scheduled date, so both, my dog and I, could get familiar with her place. She took good care of Tammy, she was responsive and sent me pictures every day. Leaving my dog with Ninoska was a peace of mind! 🙂”

“Gracie was well taken care of with Jessica. She sent daily morning and evening photos so we could see our furbaby. She was quick to respond to us when we sent messages. I would recommend her. I intend to use her again when we are in the area.”
“Maisha was EXCELLENT! This was the first time I ever left my dog with someone and she made me feel SO much at ease. She’s so professional and sweet. Maisha is a natural with your fur babies. If you need a dog sitter she is your person. I am already booking her again to stay with my fue baby for my next vacation. Maisha is the best! -Cheryl”
“Sridevi and her husband were great! Took great care of our lab, including providing cooked meal as per his schedule. Very easy communication and timely updates, with lots of pictures and videos that kept us up to date on his whereabouts. I would gladly refer her and use services again as needed.”

“Manuel is the best. Our Charlie is a temperamental weirdo but Manuel was undeterred. He’s as cool as the other side of the pillow. I’d book Manuel again in an instant.”
“Very caring and compassionate with my pets! I would highly recommend to any of my friends or family. She treated my cats as her own and always kept me updated. Extremely responsive and helpful with short notices. I can’t even begin to explain how thankful I am for her outstanding services.”
“can’t thank Pallab enough for the love and care they gave Ashoka . From the thoughtful updates to the little details they paid attention to, we knew our pup was in the best hands. Ashoka adored him, and we felt complete peace of mind. We’re so grateful and will definitely rebook!””
“We had used the same family for years (via Rover) to board our labradoodle Maya, and were sad to see their profile was no longer active. We came across Doug's profile and based on other reviews, as well as a positive meet and greet, decided to move forward. It was a great decision. Doug provided regular updates of how she was doing, lots of pictures and videos, and put our minds at ease. You can tell he genuinely cares about Maya and her experience away from home. We would highly recommend and look forward to using his services for future upcoming trips. Great job, Doug.”
“Caroline took absolutely amazing care of my puppy. She kept sending us photos and videos of him while in her care. He came back super happy with his time off ?. I would highly recommend her and would definitely be taking her up on future opportunities for care!”
“Misty is truly the sweetest person! I've used a few sitters before, but I must say that Misty and her husband gave me complete peace of mind every time Lola stayed with them. They treated her like family, and Misty went above and beyond by sending multiple pictures to show that Lola was safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m so grateful we found someone like her. I Highly recommended 😊”
